So 6500 yards of golfing in Northern Illinois! This golf course is pretty nice. It has a full 18 hole course with varying levels of difficulty that are good for both beginners and the expert golfer.
I, however, am a beginner. I have just started spending more time on the golf course trying to get my skill level up, but have spent time on many golf courses in the past.
Now, while I like the set up of the Antioch Course (aside from the rows of houses you are sometimes hitting through - I did not break a single window!) the greens are not as immaculate as their website claims. Because there is residential housing throughout the entire course it seems that some vandalism has happened upon the greens. Several of the greens have holes dug in them, others have drawings, while others just seemed to have dead grass. While these really didn't have an effect on my play ( I do bad enough on my own), it just looked really unappealing.
As well, their sand traps seem to be more like dirt traps in several areas. They are filled with rocks and other various objects that can make it hitting out of them somewhat challenging. And while I dont blame the club for this, the fairways on the course have varying levels of life! Yellow grass, brown grass and green grass - a rainbow of colors for your drive! However, that is faulted by the lack of rain mostly - it's been dry the last month.
Anyways, the pricing is decent. And they have great afternoon and evening specials - as well as a driving range. If you are out thay way, and looking for a good round - give it a go!
